Grammar:
Definition of a
periodic sentence. |
- A periodic sentence:
- is a long
sentence
that has the main point at the end
- is not typically used, but this type of
sentence
can be dramatic or even persuasive
- is particularly useful when the audience already has a
strong opinion before reading the
sentence, and in this case, the speaker or the
writer is able to present their argument first
- is the opposite of a
loose sentence
|
|
Example |
- If the class sizes were smaller, the teachers were better,
and the degree was nationally recognized, I would be
willing to pay more tuition at this college.
- Note: the part of the sentence in
bold is the main point and easily identified by the
listener or reader
